Has AI alignment gone too far with content refusals and moral lectures?

I’ve been using different LLMs a lot lately and I’ve noticed the newer versions of ChatGPT and Claude seem a lot more quick to refuse things or give me long ethical disclaimers even when I ask fairly normal questions.

It feels like the safety tuning has gotten stricter over time. On one hand I get why companies do it, but on the other it sometimes makes the models feel less useful for creative, exploratory, or even just honest conversations.

Anyone else experiencing this? Where do you think the line should be between reasonable safety and over-censorship? Do you prefer more aligned models or ones that are more open?
